| | Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel. | | | Linux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones). | | | Linux and other free software projects have been frequently criticized for not going far enough in terms of ensuring usability, and Linux has been generally considered to be more difficult to use than Windows or the Macintosh, although it is steadily improving. |

| | FSF - The Free Software Foundation |
| | The commencement of the GNU project in 1984, with its goal to give users freedom, required the establishment of new distribution terms that would prevent the project being turned into proprietary software. | | | The FSF promotes the development and use of free software, particularly the GNU operating system, used widely in its GNU/Linux variant. | | | The Free Software Foundation (FSF), established in 1985, is dedicated to promoting computer users' rights to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer programs. |

| | Componentized Linux is accompanied by the Platform Development Kit (PDK), a full suite of tools—best described as "version control for distributions"—for building and maintaining custom distributions using Componentized Linux. | | | Componentized Linux (CL) is a modular, highly customizable Linux distribution that can be used to build customized versions of the Linux operating system (at Progeny, we call them custom distributions). | | | This site was created to facilitate greater collaboration and communication among the growing Componentized Linux developer community, as well as to provide a centralized resource for users and developers of Componentized Linux-based distributions. |

| | More Fans Line Up For Linux -- Or Is That GNU/Linux? |
| | Our research into the evolution of the Linux ecosystem over the past five years, based on the support of third-party independent software vendors, reinforces your chart "Where Linux is going." In a networked setting, the acceptance of servers and desktops is dictated by the strength of third-party applications. | | | I've used Linux on my home computer ever since a spectacularly disastrous "upgrade" to Windows XP in the fall of 2003 ("Linux Inc.," Cover Story, Jan. 31). | | | Steve Hamm's "Linux Inc." was not entirely accurate in what it said about me. I criticize Linus Torvalds for publicly and visibly using a nonfree program to develop Linux, but I do not refuse to speak to him. |
